Clear instructions were provided for self check in. The room seemed fine for a short stay.

The room was too hot despite turning off the heat. I had the windows open, yet it was still uncomfortably warm. It made sleeping difficult.

The location worked well. It was easy to walk to downtown. free wifi was a plus, and so was parking on site. i also found it easy to check in and out. there was a helpful tablet at the main door.

the room was a bit small, and i thought it could use more furniture. a microwave would be nice, too. the shower leaked, and i could not figure out how to prevent it from flooding the bathroom floor. i solved this with showers at public baths instead.

The room design was modern! and clean. I found the location close to the city center. A walk of about 10 minutes was all it took. Free parking was available in front of and behind the building. The staff responded quickly. I texted them directly and received answers fast.

The key pad was terrible I had to call to enter the hotel.
